I finally finished my larger version of this quaint old Phillips 66 Station located at 18th and Cincinnati. I believe it's a salon now, but you can still see the garage in the background as well as the concrete islands where the gas pumps stood. This painting is my interpretation of the lovely glow of the setting sun and the intriguing shadows of such steeply pitched roofs. Observers who've seen this have likened the style to Hopper. Wow, what a compliment! I'm a big fan of his interesting compositional style.
This version was done in oils on 16 x 20" stretched canvas.
